Yes, I laughed. Screw TLA, this guy is giving me thousands for my links. (I'm kidding of course)

What the hell is this guy's business plan? Viral rapid growth, and then what?

The script doesn't even work right. It failed to retrieve the date you regged your domain.

lol I know I got one of those emails too, I was a huge fan of the <online since> message.

I thought it was a joke at first. I always write stupid messages like that as a joke for invite messages and 'email a friend' features...but this was not a joke lol

I get emails like that ALL the time for my blog and for WF. I don't think it's TLA, it's for an MLM type of biz scam. The $4800/mo that they promise to pay you is made from affiliate revenue of selling whatever products they are hocking.

I just tried changing all the numbers in their link around. It says 4800/mo no matter what! hahaha

A friend of mine has a site with an Alexa rank in the 13M region as well... He was thinking about ad revenue, and got someone else to appraise for him.
Professional Opinion: He'd be lucky to get away with asking $10 a month for a revolving banner...
